Last night Keshav went to bed around 8:30PM. He slept through the night without waking up and woke up only in the morning around 7-7:30AM.
Rochelle reports that Keshav fell down at the school and he has a bluish bump on his head. He wouldnt let us put an ice pack on it. Keshav slept after his school around 4:15PM and slept until 6PM. Later in the evening we took Keshav to the park and he was very happy being on the swing. He did not want to get off the swing and wanted to keep swinging. Today, I revealed Keshav's condition to some family friends. Keshav went to sleep around 11:30PM at Nikhil's house and slept through the night waking up by himself at around 7:30AM.

ABA Therapist Notes
Great day for Keshav! He is doing a fantastic job with his programs! We flew through his targets today and I was very impressed at how much he has improved with putting sunglasses on! He is no longer demonstrating any signs of distress and imitated putting them on 100% of the time today! He also did very well with his new object imitation target, "hat on." I had anticipated that his initial reaction to the hat would be similar to that of the sunglasses, but he only needed inital prompting to put it on! :) We also used some of our free play time today to work on discrimination with his signs and Keshav did a great job discriminating between "music" and "bubbles!!" He even switched his request up throughout the 10 minutes or so that we worked on this! At this beginning of the session, when a couple of options were presented to serve as reinforcement, Kesahv signed "music" and pointed at the musical book!! Great job! Keshav has also begun imitating some of my oral motor movements during play. For example, today I began whistling the tune that was playing on one of his toys and Keshav imitated the shape of my mouth with his! Keshav has also greatly improved with the car scenario, requiring less intrusive prompts to race, go up and down the ramp, and follow me on the track! Lastly, we started Mr. Potato Head today and Keshav put one of the ears, one of the arms the nose, and the hat in the correct place on the head without prompting! Great job, Keshav!
